Although I felt annoyed at first, the VIP program is starting to grow on me. Especially since its a point-to-dollar system and we are able to earn extras.
But still, I have a few gripes. I usually buy 50 or 100 sets, so the $25 was never a problem for me. And now we only get $20 back instead of $30 for a $200 purchase. But, It seems it will be much easier to get points, so it kind of equals out.
I think they only want to include their loyal customers (heck, it is called the VIP program after all!). Not to the mom's who stop by to get a present for the birthday party their kid is going to in 5 minutes.
